Community, Connection & Giving Back!

Debajehmujig Storytellers was honoured to lend a helping hand at City Medicine’s Thanksgiving Medicine Meal, held on October 7th at the Sudbury Theatre Centre.

It was a beautiful gathering filled with delicious food, music, art, traditional medicines, laughter, and meaningful connections.

At Debajehmujig Storytellers, we believe in the power of community, storytelling, and coming together to support one another. Events like this remind us of the importance of kindness, compassion, and ensuring everyone feels welcomed, valued, and respected.

A heartfelt Miigwech to City Medicine, the organizers, volunteers, and everyone who contributed their time, energy, and love to make this gathering possible.
We are grateful to have been part of this meaningful community event!

Miigwech to everyone who continues to lift one another up!
